Happy Independence Day everyone! We hope you enjoy the holiday in a safe and sane manner! If you drive, don’t do it drunk and stay out of the HOV lane if your only other passenger is a corpse.
Watch, they probably will not allow dependents to count in HOV lane, either.
The purpose of an HOV lane is to take cars off of the roads, and for other social engineering purposes. Someone who does not meet the minimum qualifications required to get a driver's license should not be one that can be used as an occupant to qualify for the HOV lane. Unless, of course, one of the social engineering purposes is to make it easier for parents to get to/from sports practice, school, etc. If my dog (child substitute) doesn't qualify, then minor children should not qualify as occupants for HOV purposes either.
A person is a person, no matter how small. Your dog, no matter how much you may pretend, is not a human. Dress the dog up in as many sickening outfits as you want, and the dog will still not be a human.
Get Alexis Plunkett to fight it for you!
11:40-I hear you, but those who don't identify as a "person" may have another opinion. LOL
What about a fetus with a heartbeat? Is that a human being in NV? What about Alabama?
What's unbelievable is the enormous expense and two-year imposition of delay and traffic on ground streets for so-called project neon — which was sold as IMPROVING flow of traffic and REDUCING congestion on I-15. Then, as it's opening, it turns out there are no new lanes for regular traffic, only for "HOV" traffic. Talk about bait and switch. I will not support another NDOT project ever and would like to know who's responsible for this waste of time and money for a project that's turned out to accomplish nothing except promote carpooling. That could have been achieved just by dedicating existing lanes to HOV if that's the social judgment that was wanted.
Agee with 11:40, except do not refer to those outfits as "sickening." Many of them are quite cute.
But still, canine is not human. True. Even though they are far more loyal, and far more unconditionally loving than most humans, still not human.
Surprised I haven't seen this come up on the blog: Aaron Ford's son arrested on DV. https://www.fox5vegas.com/news/nevada-attorney-general-s-son-arrested-on-domestic-violence-charge/article_b98720d8-9c11-11e9-ab07-4b76a577108d.html
You mean other than the discussion earlier this week about Aaron Ford's son being arrested on DV.
Eglet should be proud of his payee, Aaron Ford and family crime history.
As lawyers, you should know better than ANYBODY how often these DV charges are BS. I once met a girl who threw herself against a tree to bruise herself and then claim her boyfriend did it. Trumped up, fabricated charges can get anyone arrested, including you. So don't go acting all holier than thou. Remember, Karma can be a byyaaatch. And even if AF's son did do something, it's no different than anybody else's son doing something. AF is a good man who cares about people and kids especially. BACK The F OFF!
At 5:43 PM: WHOA, you need to simmer down. No one is coming after AF or his family. He is the lead law enforcement agent in the freaking state, so anything relating to him or his family is fair game. No need to be so defensive lmao
5:43, aka Ford, your stance on dv is scary. What an embarrassment.
DV is about 80% fake allegations, 15% a physical altercation between consenting adults (punching is another form of communication between loved ones, just ask my kids). Then there's the horrific 5% of real, bona-fide DV.
Yes, only 5 percent of DVs are real DEvs, fuck head. Your daddy named Aaron?
As someone who defends DV clients, I'd say 75% are true allegations, 5% are completely bogus, and 20% are either overblown/exaggerated.
What about a fetus with a heartbeat? Is that a human being in NV? What about Alabama?
What about Kamala's birth certificate? What about Hillary's emails?
Grim reaper, you met your match.
Is the Grim Reaper the dude who is the skeleton wearing the black hood?
He is toothless and hairless. I don't think he has a face, just red eyes that stare at you.
As far as the officer who was fired, for delaying his reaction for over two minuets at the October 1st shootings, I hope people wait for all the details and don't rush to judgment.
It's too easy to rush to judgment and to condemn him for not immediately going into to full Rambo mode. And I do understand that, yes, in tragedies like this every second can be critical and a two minute delay can make a big difference.
But I still think, as we are eventually assessing the facts as they become available, that there are at least two things to keep in mind.
First, rather than assuming cowardice, undue hesitation or him being paralyzed with fear and only thinking of his own skin and those types of criticisms, we should consider that the whole situation was probably so shocking and incredibly disorienting that he could probably not even properly assess what is truly occurring or what immediate actions to take.
Second, because of this being such a high profile tragedy, people understandably want accountability. And it may take forever and a day to get the gaming concerns and/or the event organizers to ever take any real accountability, and they may in fact never do so, even as they begrudgingly settle some of these cases over time. We will probably never get some dramatic jury verdict establishing these gaming conglomerates as the bad guys in all this.
So, a more immediate and tangible scape goat is needed. So, it makes Metro look good to say we will discharge anyone who does not act with the immediate valor and heroism of a television cop whenever a tragedy occurs.
Now, it may turn out he deserved to be discharged. But I can't help but think that it is a possible that some scapegoats were needed, and that because it is such a high profile public tragedy, that the public, the media, and by extension Metro., are holding this officer(and perhaps others)to a far too rigorous standard by discharging him.
Again, I get that every second of delay can costs lives, but based on what we know so far, even if the officer did not immediately handle this highly unique and utterly shocking situation properly, it seems he is being held to meet some sort of criteria that is often not possible in real life–even though Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford, when portraying cop heroes in such situations, admittedly would not have let a two minute delay occur.
Is it really that unrealistic that many other Metro. officers, including some real competent ones, may have acted in a similar fashion, under the incredible circumstances, and not acted as quickly and decisively as they should have? I realize that if proper protocol and procedure were not followed, that it may not be that relevant as to how many other officers would have also not handled the situation in an immediately proper fashion. But, in basic fairness, we should at least ask ourselves that.
10:47. I hear what you are saying, but I am not prepared to agree. But yes, we should wait till all the facts are in.
The problem I am having is that the two minute delay,from everything we know,occurred while the is crazy loon was still firing away and picking people off. So, any delay did in fact cost lives.
That said, I get that when something this shocking and disorienting occurs that not all officers will immediately handle the situation properly.
But, based on how this has all been reported, there is a direct nexus between any delay and additional lives being lost.
I admit it is unlikely I would have handled it properly. But, I'm not a cop and never sought such positon, nor made any commitments to protect the public in the event of such emergencies. But this young man did take that oath to protect our lives, and by not taking action sooner, it appears more lives were lost.
I'm in no way suggesting any cowardice on his part. He may in fact be quite courageous in many respects. I don't know, and it doesn't matter. What does matter is that even though this horrific situation was unexpected, he was trained, to a large extent, in how to handle situations involving public shootings, including sniper type situations that are still in progress, and was apparently actually and directly instructed what actions to take in this particular situation, and he then delayed for over two minutes. So, it may turn out the discharge is appropriate.
But, yes, we should all reserve judgment till the facts are in. But 10:47 says we should reserve judgment, but there is a tone to the post that clearly suggests the conclusion the officer did not deserve to be discharged.
So, I'm just suggesting that(yes,even though we should reserve judgment)that based on what we know we could also reasonably argue that discharge may have been appropriate.
Wow.

What's the case number on that? Clerk's office still has it sealed.
